Hi 🤝 I am Rahul, I am currently a grad student at Stanford🌲 and an intern at the GEAR Lab at NVIDIA Research working on foundation models for humanoid robots ‌. Previously, I was an intern at NVIDIA's post-training Nemotron LLM team ‌ working on latent reasoning, and contributed to Nemo-RL (async RL) and Nemo-Gym.

I am also part of the ILIAD ‌ group. Prior to joining Stanford🌲 I worked as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research on Transformer Compression & Extreme Classification. My current interests are in RL+LLM and Robotics (You can have super intelligence in an API for 20$/month but it would still be fundamentally limited unless you can give it a physical body).

In the future I look forward to getting replaced by AGI and work as a Wallace design protein farmer.

In my previous life, I completed my undergrad in CS from BITS Pilani. For more details, check my CV
